Transfusion is a routine medical procedure in which donated blood is provided to you through a narrow tube placed within a vein in your arm. This potentially life-saving procedure can help replace blood lost due to surgery or injury. A Read More ….>
Anatomy of Hemostasis/Hemostasis is the natural process that stops blood loss when an injury occurs.It involves three steps: (1) vascular spasm ( vasoconstriction ); (2) platelet plug formation; and (3) coagulation. Vasoconstriction is a reflex in which blood vessels narrow to Read More ….>
Thrombocytes/ Platelets are the smallest blood cells, colorless cell fragments in our blood that form clots and stop or prevent bleeding. Typically around 2μm in diameter and anucleated, with an average lifespan of 7 to 10 days in humans. The platelet Read More ….>

Red blood cells (RBC), are the functional component of blood responsible for the transportation of gases and nutrients throughout the human body. Their unique shape and composition allow for these specialized cells to carry out their essential functions. The role Read More ….>
Blood is a constantly circulating fluid providing the body with nutrition, oxygen, and waste removal. Blood is mostly liquid, with numerous cells and proteins suspended in it, making blood “thicker” than pure water. The average person has about 5 liters (more than a gallon) of blood. Read More ….>
In terms of name recognition, the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands get a lion’s share of the glory. These organs have no significant function other than to produce hormones and were relatively easy to study years ago using “remove it Read More ….>
The pancreas is an organ of the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates. In humans, it is located in the abdomen behind the stomach and functions as a gland. The pancreas has both an endocrine and a digestive exocrine function. As an endocrine gland, it functions mostly to regulate blood sugar levels, secreting the hormones insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide. As a part Read More ….>
The adrenal glands, also called the suprarenal glands, are a significant part of the endocrine system. The adrenal glands play a vital role in the body’s fight or flight response. They generate stress hormones that activate physiological adaptations that are Read More ….>
Inferior Parathyroid Glands/Parathyroid glands are four small glands of the endocrine system which regulate the calcium in our bodies. Parathyroid glands are located in the neck behind the thyroid where they continuously monitor and regulate blood calcium levels. Parathyroid glands are small endocrine glands in the neck of humans Read More ….>
